RISComparison of Markovian-Based Bridge Deterioration Model Approaches
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Bridge management systems are a critical component in the toolbox of those who are responsible for maintaining a population of bridges. Deterioration models are generally incorporated in bridge management systems, but ...
Integrating the Risk of Climate Change into Transportation Asset Management to Support Bridge Network-Level Decision-Making
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Climate change continues to cause frequent storms, droughts, floods, and other extreme weather events, and these events are affecting transport infrastructure assets around the world. Despite broad recognition that climate ...
Monitoring Urban Expansion as a Result of Refugee Fluxes in North Jordan Using Remote Sensing Techniques
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to provide a rapid monitoring of the recent patterns and trends of urban growth in the north of Jordan as a result of increasing refugee fluxes from nearby countries due to the Syrian political ...
Truck Platoon Impacts on Steel Girder Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The presence of truck platoons on our nation’s highways is an inevitability. This research study aims to explore the potential effects of this paradigm shift in our transportation system as it relates to existing and future ...
Quantifying Individual Losses in a Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Studying the performance of a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is complicated by the complex interactions of kinetic and transport processes. As a result, changes in one aspect of the cell ...
A Diagnostic Study of the Influence of a Gravity Wave upon Regional Weather
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 20 May 1977 a periodic pressure disturbance over the upper Midwest was detected by synoptic and mesoscale microbarograph arrays. Analysis indicates that a pressure wave with an amplitude of approximately 1.0 mb, a phase ...
Long-Term NOx Emission Behavior of Heavy Duty Gas Turbines: An Approach for Model-Based Monitoring and Diagnostics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accurate monitoring of gas turbine performance is a means to an early detection of performance deviation from the design point and thus to an optimized operational control. In this process, the diagnosis of the combustion ...
Total-Package-Prioritization Mitigation Strategy for Deferred Maintenance of a Campus-Sized Institution
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Deferred maintenance (DeM) backlogs can accelerate facility deterioration, which can cause buildings to reach demolition conditions prematurely. Although higher-education institutions allocate DeM costs to the budget, they ...
Errata: “Mathematical Model of a Direct Methanol Fuel Cell” [J. Fuel Cell Sci. Tech.1 (1), pp. 43–48 (2004)]
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The authors inform that there are three errors in the published article. The following correction applies to Eq. (30). Equation (30) contains a parameter n that was not defined. The parameter ...
Mathematical Model of a Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A one-dimensional, isothermal model for a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is presented. This model accounts for the kinetics of the multi-step methanol oxidation reaction at the anode. Diffusion ...
